Opinion | Joe Biden Knows What He’s Doing
The combination of tragedy, confusion and cost is what makes leadership so difficult.
There’s a gathering sense that President Biden’s response to the war in Gaza may cost him the 2024 election. A recent Gallup poll showed that his support among Democrats has slipped 11 points in the past month to 75 percent, the lowest of his presidency. On Friday my colleagues in the newsroom reported on a growing backlash against Biden coming from young and left-leaning voters.
Does this mean that standing with Israel could be politically fatal for Biden? I don’t think so, and to understand why, it’s important to understand the core responsibilities of an American president.
In 2012, when I was a partisan supporter of Mitt Romney, there was one message from President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign that I thought made the most succinct and persuasive case for his second term. It was delivered most memorably by then-Vice President Biden, of all people, at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. He said that Obama had “courage in his soul, compassion in his heart and a spine of steel,” and then Biden delivered the key line: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.”
You're viewing a single thread.
The dnc/bidens message is basically, who cares. What are ya gonna do, vote for trump?
They know at the end of the day well plug our nose and darken the oval next to bidens name.
Is it? Ds have passed a lot given how fucked the GOP has made things.
FDR had a lot of bipartisan support, Biden has absolutely none. Yet Biden visited picket lines, still fighting for loan forgiveness, etc.
You make it sound like the dems are just sitting around and anytime you ask where are the promises you made they just point to the right and say be glad we aren’t doing that; that is absolutely not the case.
Yeah I’m no Biden fan either but he has done quite a good job overall given the chaos-saturated Congress. No he had t fulfilled every promise but he has tried, no that’s not good enough but it sure as hell ain’t a “who cares” either.
Biden has been surprisingly effective with the cards he’s been dealt, and swiftly fixed a lot of things trump fumbled with his handling of Covid.
I think people forget just how chaotic things were in 2020 leading up to the election.
There is also a real chance that Trump might not even be on the ballot in every state or that he might have to campaign from jail.
I really doubt Trump has a winning strategy, after losing 2022, 2020 and 2018.
Trump's winning strategy is a bigger, better and successful Jan 6 that installs him as president.
He won't have the support of the VP this time (actually, same as last time I suppose!) nor control of the national guard.
Sadly, I fear they will be a lot more willing to hang the VP because oh no, she's a woman.
Thankfully, we've already witnessed january 6th 2021, and I imagine there will be better security, and someone willing to actually call the DC coos or national guard.
Not to mention the popular vote in 2016.
I'll be honest, that's good enough for me until Trump fades away like a bad odor.
well plug our nose
The liberal version of 'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters.' and why politicians are total garbage, they are never held accountable for their actions. They can kill and their lemmings dont care.
Not at all. The alternative that "your side" will put forth literally tried to overthrow the last election he lost. Are we supposed to vote for that loser???
Lol
Hell he will probably be in jail.
I love the binary thinking of liberals that assume a critique of their shitty party makes someone a republican, or vice versa.
Maybe you should reread your own post...lol you established the US vs them mentality. Also if u walk like a fuck and talk Like a fuck you're probably going to get mistaken for a fuck.
My point is you only get 2 chances to vote for the winner with fptp. So u either vote trump or Biden....or u vote for a guaranteed loser.
I assumed u wouldn't vote for a guaranteed loser but I guess I was wrong.
Then Dems better support a 3rd party to get FPTP. I don't vote for who I think will win like the rest of the lemmings. I vote my conscience, and that doesn't include either right wing party.
Yeah, Joe Biden knows exactly what he's doing, and that's the problem. The resulting government, leadership, and progress, or lack thereof, is exactly what is intended.
He got medicare to negotiate drug prices which Dems have been trying to do for 30+ years
What The Hell Are You Talking About?!?!?
What does leadership look like, clown dick? .99 gas?
